Which element in the fifth period has the highest sixth ionization enthalpy?

Sixth ionization enthalpy peaks when removing an electron from a stable X⁵⁺ ion. Te (after losing five electrons, becomes Te⁵⁺ with 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶) has the highest value in period 5.

Which element in the third period has the highest second ionization enthalpy?

Second ionization enthalpy is highest when removing an electron from a stable X+ ion. Na (after losing one electron, becomes Na+ with 1s² 2s² 2p⁶) has the highest value in period 3 compared to Mg, Si, or P.
